Johann Jacob Froberger (1617-67) enjoyed an outstanding reputation during his lifetime, as his compositional style represented a synthesis of Italian, French and English influences. There is now a growing awareness that Froberger's significance for keyboard music of the 17th century is comparable only with that of Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck.
Each volume contains a critical commentary as well as a detailed foreword with sections on the scope and structure of the new edition, the editorial method and performance practice. Information on contemporary instruments, ornamentation and Froberger's biography is also included.
